What are some things that you don't "get" that everyone else seems to?

****in' magnets, how do they work?

LA is a great place to live but you have actually stayed there for a period of time? I've never lived in Houston but LA is one spread out place, toppled with massive amounts of congestion.

 

I dont understand why Angelina Jolie is consider one of the hottest girls, Im not picky, I mean I would choose a lot of celebrities before her, for example the ex of Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston.

 

Politics.

Meh.

 

I have to point out that you understand the rules/pattern of the game but not the game itself.

Those 45 seconds are not a break. American sports are much more focused on physical attributes (power, speed, athleticism) than football. Applying the same "test" to football would not work. This is why there are no really "built" players in football, and being extremely skinny is common. Because the game is really played in the mind, and those things (physical features) are supplementary.

Take a player like Riquelme (check youtube). He doesn't have speed, strength or power really. His technical skills are excellent, but not legendary or anything. The game is mostly played in his mind. In that 45-second break you mentioned, his mind is working furiously while also being in complete control of the ball and aware of the defense around him.

Can't wait for the world cup.

 

I don't get why people get starstruck.
-Guys going crazy for an autograph.
-Girls who go crazy and start crying.

 

Seems like WillG was talking about American football, whereas you are talking about soccer.

 

FIXED.

I don't get what he's trying to do in this thread. But then again, I don't think anyone does! What I do get is that you're a douchebag. Move along...nothing to see here

Also, his use of quotation marks is annoying.


Double also, I really don't get sporks. Why not just use a spoon and a fork??

 

To clarify...knote that wasn't in regard to you. It was directed at tomjc.

 

British?

 

Bad acting makes me cringe. Reality TV is chock full of it. Give me shows with a more realistic touch like The Rockford Files and The Office, with talented actors, any day over reality VD.

 

The movie Pulp Fiction

 

Jesus. The performances of every single actor, the script, the direction, and the soundtrack are all masterful...

 

ugh ... OK... this is the LAST time I help you with your comedy, sir... but NO MORE, OK?

The Lovely Bones - haven't read it, but Mrs. SwoLy did, and she even saw the movie; please stop asking me and I'll let you talk to her later.
The Blue Tooth headset as a wardrobe item - let douchebags be douchebags. Sort of a "let sleeping dogs lie" thing, except dogs aren't so much of a d-bag as a d-bag is.
Madea - Yeah. Me neither. It's a dude. He likes dressing up as a chick. Weird caca, huh? Let sleeping transvestites lie.
Really?? - some people liked it on SNL, but some didn't. In the end, it's the Lorn Michaels' word to keep it.
Weed - I've never had it, never will.
Greys Anatomy - don't you mean GRACE ANATOMY? It's a show, unless you're talking about Henry Gray's book.
Gaga - I had a baby, so I know this one. Wait until you have a baby, then ask me this again. I played baby gibberish with my girls long ago... so I don't remember.

OK. Done. Are you happy? WTF, was Jerry Seinfeld unavailable?

You too? You just put one next to another magnet, and it works. It's SIMPLE, actually.
